Refrigeration
Olivetta has a top loading 12 volt electric fridge with freezer compartment which is
powered from the normal engine operation and battery charging.
The diesel motor must be run at least three hours each day to charge the house
battery system.
Fridge
To operate ensure the switch marked
FRIDGE
is turned on at the electrical panel.
Make sure you replace power used by running the diesel motor or plugging into shore
power when you visit Hamilton Island or Abel Point Marina.
If your house battery is very low it is best to turn the fridge off while recharging for a
faster recharge.
Do not turn the thermostat up fully as this will cause the refrigeration to run all the time
and flatten your batteries.
